(Washington, D.C.) – On May 15, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. introduced two pieces of legislation protecting children and taxpayers from radical gender ideology. The Protecting Children From Experimentation Act prohibits doctors from performing ‘gender-transition procedures’ on minors. The End Taxpayer Funding of Gender Experimentation Act prohibits federal funds from being used for ‘gender transgender procedures.’
Performing these medical procedures can cause irreversible damage to children’s bodies, including an increased risk of cancer and permanent sterilization. These practices should never be done at the taxpayer’s expense.
“Doctors must be prohibited from performing or assisting in child mutilation procedures,” Senator Marshall said. “Enough is enough. These procedures can cause severe and irreversible damage to children’s bodies and have long-term detrimental health risks. We must protect our kids and make sure American taxpayers aren’t footing the bill for these dangerous procedures.”
Congressman Doug LaMalfa (CA-01) joined Senator Marshall in introducing these bills in the U.S. House of Representatives.
“Across the country, vulnerable children are being exposed to radical gender transition ideology and pressured into going through invasive and irreversible medical procedures. Minors should not be making these permanent decisions as minors. Adults should not be pushing minor children and teens into irreversible decisions either. Let kids be kids and wait until adulthood to make a choice they likely wish they hadn’t as a child. Adults and the medical field shouldn’t be allowed to coerce this “woke” agenda onto them when they should be their protectors. Adults need to realize that their coercion is abuse, and should face appropriate consequences. Both the Protecting Children from Experimentation Act and the End Taxpayer Funding of Gender Experimentation Act would protect children and taxpayers from paying the high price of these unethical medical interventions,” said Congressman LaMalfa.
